That has been stated loudly and clearly by so many of their candidates.  Of course, many softened that claim when they realized they were losing votes. Some Republicans want to go even further and outlaw some if not all forms of medical contraception.  In a Republican super majority state like Ohio, they very well might succeed. We have a legislator who has said pregnancy due to rape/incest was an "opportunity"  We have another who believes that an embryo of ectopic pregnancy can be reimplanted in the uterus.  We now have a US Senator who believes that women should stay in abusive relationships

 We are also aware that at least 4 Justices of the Supreme Court LIED when they said Roe has settled the law and they respected precedents and then all 4 voted to overturn it  At least 1, Thomas, wants to overturn the decision that allowed for contraception for all women. Why should we beleive anything they claim?

Women, have very good reasons not to trust Republicans.  They were all very eager to have special sessions to get their abortion restrictions in place while addressing NONE of the reasons women have them in the first place. When the party of Pro-Birth actually becomes a part of Pro-life, maybe they will see women come back...but don't count on it any time soon.

I don’t understand why some republicans would be against medical contraceptives. Please be more specific about rape/incest being an opportunity and also a senator believing women should stay in abusive relationships.
